    I found this podcast during the time that my vision was going away. I was floundering, wondering how I was going to handle my work as a Marketing Coordinator and a Mom, and taking care of my Mom who had Alzheimer's Disease. Not only did I learn about apps and technology that turned out to be a lifesaver, their humbleness toward relating their own vision journeys made me feel supported and not alone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Duelling Duos: Two New iPhone Duo Users Discuss The Pros And Cons Of Apple's New Foldable Phone
Q: How does VoiceOver handle having two apps open in Split View?
VoiceOver stays within the app on each side as the user navigates, rather than jumping between apps. The hosts say the experience feels like having two iPhones joined together.
Duelling Duos: Two New iPhone Duo Users Discuss The Pros And Cons Of Apple's New Foldable Phone
Q: Is the iPhone Duo any use if you can't see the screen?
David says he bought it out of curiosity and is still deciding whether to keep it. VoiceOver works well overall, though the changing layouts and inconsistent app support can make navigation harder. He and the hosts find Split View especially useful because VoiceOver can navigate each app independently.
NASA's Artemis Webinar for Blind People: RS-25 Engines, Blind Engineers and Accessible Space
Q: What would it take for a blind person to follow those missions live and feel part of them, rather than, you know, as we try to watch and understand from outside?
Christine Malec says NASA could provide audio description and share material that is especially useful to blind audiences, including astronauts' conversations about what they are seeing.
NASA's Artemis Webinar for Blind People: RS-25 Engines, Blind Engineers and Accessible Space
Q: Why did NASA decide to build this event, specifically for blind and low vision people around the subject of Artemis, rather than, say, adding accessibility to an existing event?
Robert Shelton says Artemis is intended to benefit everyone, including the blind community, and that NASA is making efforts to improve accessible content and exhibits.
Learning Braille, Braille Display Prices and Cazerny Bussey's Even Though I'm Blind
Q: What's your thought on AI, and in particular, about AI-generated music?
Bussey considers AI a useful creative tool, but says musicians should be transparent about using it because music platforms and labels are increasingly scrutinizing AI-generated material.
